There's somethin' 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah
We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
So baby drive slow 'til we run out of road
In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here
In this passenger seat, you put your eyes on me
In this moment, now capture it, remember it
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way
But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin'
It's fearless
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless
Taylor Swift has a really amazing explanation of this song and what "Fearless" means to her. So here's what it means to me:
I think fearless is not being afraid to tell people what you think. It's fearless to be able to tell someone your flaws or let them see your imperfections knowing they may run after what they see. It's going through a hard time with no one on earth to help you and somehow getting through it. Being fearless is doing what is right even though you know everyone will judge you for it and you might lose some of your best friends. It's fearless to tell someone no when they want you give into the peer pressures of the world. It's fearless to forgive and forget even though you know they'll just hurt you again. It's fearless to do something you believe you can do, something you've always wanted to do, when everyone says there's no way you can do it. Fearless is finally telling someone you love them. It's taking risks that could make your life so much better and still doing it even though you know you may end up heartbroken later. Fearless can mean being afraid. It's okay to be afraid it doesn't make you any less courageous. It's fearless to cry in front of people even though it makes you feel ashamed. It's fearless to give up something that's been weighing you down forever. It's fearless to talk about God at school or around your non-believer friends. It's fearless to try a new food. Fearless is doing something you've always wanted to do since you were little. It's driving a car for the first time. It's fearless to slow dance in the middle of the street with the boy you love at 11 at night in freezing weather. It's fearless to be nice to someone you've never liked, or to be the bigger person with someone who's always been rude to you. Fearless is dancing like no ones watching and singing at the top of your lungs in the car even when the windows are rolled down. It's fearless to miss a football game to do homework so you can get an A in a class. It's fearless to go out for a sport, even though you know you suck. It's asking someone out, not knowing what they'll say. Fearless is doing things you never thought you could do and doing them with your best effort and without regrets. Fearless is just being able to live in this crazy world. Fearless is having faith and knowing things will get better so you're taking the hardships now. Being fearless is not always easy, but it's worth it. It comes with many struggles and facing those struggles is purely Fearless.
